I have a CyberStorm Mk III:

The ACARD UW-SCSI to IDE can be bought for around $40 to $50 USD. I have many and use them in many different kinds of machines. This particular kind normally is part of a tray onto which the drive mounts making a full height 3.5" drive, but it worked here because there's practically no space between the power supply and the drive enclosure.


What about CyberSCSI MK II ?, it does not have UltraWide SCSI.  I would love to slap in a PATA drive i have spare (got an 80 and 120GB here), via SCSI-IDE adaptor to my Cyberstorm MK II.

Better than stuffing the drive on to the Integrated PIO IDE on the 4000 Motherboard.

SO does anyone know what kind of SCSI to IDE bridge I can use for my Cyberscsi MK II ? (As it does not use ultra).

I was thinking of an IDE drive, say my 120GIG, but I would als othink of putting a CF card on it, as the Cyberscsi runs DMA, it would SIGNIFICANTLY speed up things. (Sandisk 4GB Ultra CF, rated to 30MB/s)

Sure. You can use an ACard 7720U or R-IDSC-E/R
Cheers


Well, I think I will choose the Ebay one, for 1/10th the price :)

ACard's price is the manufacturer's one. You can find in eBay from time to time. I got mine for 30 euro (incl. shipping).

Yeah the one I got my eye on is $26.

[edit] Why do Vesalia have them for WELL OVER $100 ? ($133 ?)
